This logic supports 2 types of Tool changers

The tools are mounted on the X axis. They can be either Fixed or moved into position by a pneumatic cylinder.
The tools are mounted on the Z axis and the tools move into position by a pneumatic cylinder.

Setting up the tool changer

Go to F1-Setup screen and open Tool Changer window.
From the list select Press enter to open Tool Changer list and select the the Gang Tooling from the list.

Syntax used in this document for Tool Changer inputs and outputs

"Tool Changer - Output 1" means Tool Change - 1 and it is an output

"Tool Changer - Input 1" means Tool Changer -1 and it is an Input

Note: Any tool changer input or output can be assigned to any Input or Output on MASSO. The tool changer number does not refer to an actual input or output port.

Output Signals

Tool Changer - Output 1 goes high when Tool 1 is selected
Tool Changer - Output 2 goes high when Tool 2 is selected
Tool Changer - Output 3 goes high when Tool 3 is selected
Tool Changer - Output 4 goes high when Tool 4 is selected
Tool Changer - Output 5 goes high when Tool 5 is selected
Tool Changer - Output 6 goes high when Tool 6 is selected

These outputs can be used in either tool changer configuration.

If a tool needs to be moved into position assign the Tool changer - output that matches the tool number and it will automatically change to High when that tool is selected

If the tool does not require to be moved into position, do not assign a Tool Changer - Output.

There is no limit to the number of tools this tool changer can support but only Tools 1 to 6 have associated Outputs.

Logic

When Tools 1 to 6 are selected the associated Tool Changer output changer from Low to High.
